'''GENESIS 8''' | '''GENESIS 8''' was a [[List of national tournaments|supermajor]] tournament for ''Melee'' and ''Ultimate'' and the 8th edition of the [[GENESIS (tournament series)|GENESIS tournament series]]. It took place place in San Jose, California, from April 15th-17th, 2022. The event featured singles and doubles tournaments for ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', and is a major event for ''{{s|wikipedia|Rivals of Aether}}'', ''{{s|wikipedia|Guilty Gear Strive}}'', and ''{{s|wikipedia|Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl}}''. GENESIS 8 also featured side events for ''{{s|wikipedia|Dance Dance Revolution Extreme}}'', ''{{s|wikipedia|Magical Drop III}}'', ''{{s|wikipedia|Super Street Fighter II Turbo}}'', and ''{{s|wikipedia|Windjammers 2}}''. | ||
The event was originally set to take place between January 28th-30th, but was postponed to April due to concerns over the high amount of cases of [[COVID-19]].<ref>https://twitter.com/Genesis_Smash/status/1482178268153323522?s=20</ref> A charity event called {{Trn|GenAssist}} was made to help the GENESIS 8 crew with the six-figure cost of postponing GENESIS 8, which partnered with the online ''Melee'' tournament {{Trn|Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series 4}}. | The event was originally set to take place between January 28th-30th, but was postponed to April due to concerns over the high amount of cases of [[COVID-19]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Genesis_Smash/status/1482178268153323522?s=20|title=GENESIS postponement}}</ref> A charity event called {{Trn|GenAssist}} was made to help the GENESIS 8 crew with the six-figure cost of postponing GENESIS 8, which partnered with the online ''Melee'' tournament {{Trn|Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series 4}}. | ||
GENESIS 8 was the largest offline ''Melee'' tournament by entrants since {{Trn|GENESIS 4}} in January 2017, and the largest offline ''Ultimate'' tournament by entrants since {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2019}} in August 2019. | |||
==Summary of events== | |||
===''Melee''=== | |||
GENESIS 8 became most well-known for {{Sm|Jmook}}'s breakout run all the way to 2nd place; seeded 21st and fairly unknown on the world stage, Jmook tore through winners' bracket and defeated {{Sm|Plup}}, {{Sm|LloD}}, {{Sm|n0ne}}, and {{Sm|iBDW}}, only losing to champion {{Sm|Zain}} in winners' and grand finals. Jmook's run was seen as arguably solo Sheik's best tournament performance ever at the time, made more impressive by his victories over Plup and iBDW, two players with historically dominant records over Sheik players. Jmook's run is often regarded as the greatest breakout performance in ''Melee'' history, due to the fact that he had never ranked top 100 on a ''Melee'' global power ranking prior. | |||
{{Sm|Mang0}} was famously upset by {{Sm|Fizzwiggle}} outside of top 64, before being eliminated by {{Sm|Hungrybox}} for 9th, his lowest ever placing at a GENESIS tournament. With Hungrybox's 5th placing, this was the first open bracket supermajor for ''Melee'' since {{Trn|Viva La Smashtaclysm}} (nearly 15 years prior) to not have any of the Five Gods in grand finals. | |||
===''Ultimate''=== | |||
The top 3 for ''Ultimate'' were the same players as the ones in {{Trn|Delfino Maza RETA 2022}} (MkLeo, Glutonny and Sparg0) approximately two weeks prior. This tournament also stands as {{Sm|Tweek}}'s worst placement at an ''Ultimate'' tournament, tying {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 5}} with a 33rd place finish. | |||
Due to the venue having a hard cutoff at 10:00 p.m. before paying staff for overtime, the ''Ultimate'' doubles Grand Finals reset was played offstream.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/boba_ck/status/1515191517622640646|title=10:00 hard cutoff}}</ref> | |||

GENESIS 8 was a supermajor tournament for Melee and Ultimate and the 8th edition of the GENESIS tournament series. It took place place in San Jose, California, from April 15th-17th, 2022. The event featured singles and doubles tournaments for Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and is a major event for Rivals of Aether, Guilty Gear Strive, and Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. GENESIS 8 also featured side events for Dance Dance Revolution Extreme, Magical Drop III, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, and Windjammers 2.
The event was originally set to take place between January 28th-30th, but was postponed to April due to concerns over the high amount of cases of COVID-19.[1] A charity event called GenAssist was made to help the GENESIS 8 crew with the six-figure cost of postponing GENESIS 8, which partnered with the online Melee tournament Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series 4.
GENESIS 8 was the largest offline Melee tournament by entrants since GENESIS 4 in January 2017, and the largest offline Ultimate tournament by entrants since Super Smash Con 2019 in August 2019.
Summary of events[edit]
Melee[edit]
GENESIS 8 became most well-known for Jmook's breakout run all the way to 2nd place; seeded 21st and fairly unknown on the world stage, Jmook tore through winners' bracket and defeated Plup, LloD, n0ne, and iBDW, only losing to champion Zain in winners' and grand finals. Jmook's run was seen as arguably solo Sheik's best tournament performance ever at the time, made more impressive by his victories over Plup and iBDW, two players with historically dominant records over Sheik players. Jmook's run is often regarded as the greatest breakout performance in Melee history, due to the fact that he had never ranked top 100 on a Melee global power ranking prior.
Mang0 was famously upset by Fizzwiggle outside of top 64, before being eliminated by Hungrybox for 9th, his lowest ever placing at a GENESIS tournament. With Hungrybox's 5th placing, this was the first open bracket supermajor for Melee since Viva La Smashtaclysm (nearly 15 years prior) to not have any of the Five Gods in grand finals.
Ultimate[edit]
The top 3 for Ultimate were the same players as the ones in Delfino Maza RETA 2022 (MkLeo, Glutonny and Sparg0) approximately two weeks prior. This tournament also stands as Tweek's worst placement at an Ultimate tournament, tying Smash 'N' Splash 5 with a 33rd place finish.
Due to the venue having a hard cutoff at 10:00 p.m. before paying staff for overtime, the Ultimate doubles Grand Finals reset was played offstream.[2]

Side event[edit]
Vendetta vs AndresFn First to Five[edit]

Player | Character(s) | Set Score | Player | Character(s) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Vendetta | 5-3 | AndresFn |
Trivia[edit]
- raoul flew from France to San Francisco, California on January 14th, 2022 to arrive early before the tournament's original dates of January 28th-30th, 2022. After his flight landed, he learned the tournament had been postponed earlier that day.[3]
- This is the first major Melee tournament to have only one spacie player in Top 8 (iBDW with Fox) since MELEE-FC3 (Dave with Falco) almost 17 years prior.
- Although AndresFn and Vendetta's exhibition FT5 was for the symbolic title of best shoto player in Ultimate, both finished 97th in bracket and were significantly outplaced by Ikan, who used only Ryu on route to a 9th place finish. This spawned numerous jokes (in which both players took part) about Ikan being the one true shoto master.[4]
- Prior to Sparg0 vs. Zomba in Top 8 of Ultimate, a video was played announcing Sparg0's sponsorship by FaZe Clan, with Sparg0 subsequently removing his hoodie to reveal a FaZe jersey.
- n0ne's winner's semifinals set with Jmook marked the lowest seed combination (17th and 21st seeds, respectively) for a Top 8 set at a Melee supermajor.
